code-review

A structured code-review assistant that examines correctness, readability, architecture, security, and performance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for pull-request reviews, refactoring checks, security reviews, performance reviews, and broader software-quality assessments.
Why use it?
It helps uncover bugs, unclear code, design problems, security risks, and inefficient operations before changes are merged.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

code-review scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 55 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Code Review & Quality Skill

Inspired by Addy Osmani's agent-skills (addyosmani/agent-skills/skills/code-review-and-quality/SKILL.md).

Purpose

Perform rigorous, multi-dimensional code reviews across Correctness, Readability, Architecture, Security, and Performance.


When to Invoke This Skill

Trigger this skill when:

  • The user requests a code review, pull request review, or quality check (/code-review, /review-diff, /review-security, /review-perf).
  • Reviewing new code or refactoring changes before merging.
  • Evaluating code health across the 5 axes of quality.

The 5-Axis Quality Framework

  1. Correctness: Spec/acceptance criteria alignment, edge cases, error handling, race conditions.
  2. Readability: Clear naming, small functions, self-documenting structure, why-focused comments.
  3. Architecture: Separation of concerns, bounded context boundaries, Ponytail anti-overengineering ladder.
  4. Security: OWASP top risks, input sanitization, secret protection, least privilege.
  5. Performance: Query batching, memory leak prevention, async efficiency, resource bounding.

Review Benchmark

Approve a change when it definitely improves overall code health, even if it isn't perfect. Perfect code doesn't exist — continuous improvement is the goal.


Quick Shortcuts

Command Action
/code-review Full 5-axis code review on target files or git diff
/review-diff Review git diff against HEAD / main branch
/review-security Focused security audit (injection, secrets, OWASP)
/review-perf Focused performance & memory leak audit
/quality-gate Evaluate whether code passes merge readiness criteria

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

code-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository unrealandychan/clean-code-skill (6 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 448 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
